The Swapping Song

歌詞

When I was a little boy I lived by myself, All the bread and cheese I gotta put it on the shelf; to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home The rats and the mice, they led me such a life, I had to go to London to get myself a wife. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home The roads were so slick and the lanes were so narrow, Had to take her home in a old wheelbarrow; got my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home The wheelbarrow broke and my wife had a fall, Down came wheelbarrow, wife and all. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swap my wheelbarrow got me a horse; Then I rode from cross to cross. got my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my horse and got me a mare; Then I rode from fair to fair. got my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my mule and got me a cow; And in that trade I just learned how. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my cow and got me a calf; In that trade I lost just half. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my calf and got me a mule; Then I rode like a dog-gone fool. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my mule and I got me a sheep; Then I rode til I went to sleep. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my sheep and got me a goat; rode to the election, sold my vote. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my goat and got me a rat; Put it in the haystack to run the cat. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my rat and got me a hen; What a pretty little think I had then. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home Swapped my hen and got me a mole; And the dog-gone thing ran straight to its hole. to my wing wong waddle to my jack straw saddle to my jon fair faddle to my long way home
